7 Display devices The used monitors can be set up either in portrait (vertical) or landscape (horizontal) format. You can easily use all digital outputs, such as a projector or an LED wall. As you can see, the MTC system offers you infinite options to deploy your media in a customer focused and versatile way. cinema Kino Kino Monitore monitors portrait Hochformat Monitore Monitore monitors Hochformat Querformat landscape format Projektor projector Monitore Querformat u.v.m. monitors Monitore 4er-Wand 4 fold Monitore wall 4er-Wand Projektor LED wall monitors Monitore 4er-Wand 4 fold Monitore wall 4er-Wand monitors Monitore 99er-Wand fold Monitore wall 9er-Wand u.v.m. and much more 7

8 Playback options / displays Lobby Poster show and motion picture/los Trailer The most important task of a screen is to play a cinema trailer. A trailer in high definition (HD) impresses every single cinemagoer. Usually the trailers are delivered in panorama format. That way there is still space for bars at the bottom and on the top in the CI of the cinema. A possible text can inform the visitors about the next showing. Portrait and landscape format monitors decorate the lobby in order to guide the attention to a current cinema menu. Additional fields of application are the special advertising of concession products or the standard price list. The classic poster frame showing the cinema posters will now be replaced by portrait format screens. No longer are you restricted to the display of a static poster, a moving picture/los (LivingOneSheet) will now draw everyone s attention to it. included in the licence package 8

9 Program info wall The program info wall shows cinemagoers the current weekly program in display formats with different degrees of detail. The order of the displayed films can be determined by Film Procurement. You are free to design the program info wall to your own taste. You can also freely arrange the monitors (see examples on page 6). If not all the monitors are filled with current films, they automatically display predefined fillers, as shown in the example above. included in the licence package 9

10 Program info wall with beamer The program info wall can now, flexible as ever, also be displayed via a beamer. The layout, and thus the number of shows or films, can be arranged according to your wishes. If your cinema program contains more shows than can be displayed on the respective layout, another program info image is added and displayed. Free spaces are flexibly filled with predefined fillers. You also have the option of complementing some areas of the program info with other material. Instead of a filler you can, for example, place and play back your own adverts or trailers on one side of the program info. included in the licence package 10

11 Program info 4 fold and 8 fold wall The monitors for the program info wall can be assembled individually. Here is an example for a 4 fold and an 8 fold wall. As a special requirement, the weekly program can also be displayed on several monitors in portrait format, e.g. as 4 fold wall to be attached to a column. included in the licence package 11

12 Theatre info in portrait and landscape format included in the licence package Split screen included in the licence package included in the licence package included in the licence package The theatre information monitors display which films are shown in which theatre and, for example, how many seats are still available. The theatre info display can be designed individually. You can choose the update intervals. Thus, the important data are always available to the visitors. Visual effects are possible in the theatre information display: Cross fading, rotation, layout creation on pixel level. Screens do not necessarily have to be completely filled by one item. When using a vertical monitor, a smart move is to divide the space. On the bottom half a trailer serves as an eye catcher and the top half shows an info screen or poster. 12

13 Change of playlists with content switcher UserControl Content switcher USERCONTROL One streamer can play several shows/playlists. You can choose between different playlists without the slightest effort by sending an appropriate signal to the system via a wireless num pad or a PC in the cinema. Of course you can access this feature also via a tablet computer. included in the licence package 13

You can schedule any amount of switchings precisely to date, weekday and time comfortably from every PC and tablet computer via MTC Online. included in the licence package 15

16 Admission display With the admission display you can show your visitors whether a theatre is already open. As soon as a cinema theatre is ready for visitors you can simply change the colour of theatre numbers from red to green via the keyboard. The admission display can be arranged in different layouts depending on the number of theatres. The admission into the theatre can be controlled and displayed either fully or half automatically for each theatre. Optionally, an opened theatre (e.g. after cleaning) can automatically be closed again at the start of the next film. included in the licence package 16

19 Features UserControl Advanced control options for the user: Specifically set up event streamers (e.g. for special screenings or in special formats) can be started and stopped. These can be comfortably managed via groups and profiles. UserControl Comprehensive user management Assignment of access rights in companies Temporary accounts for external users are possible (e.g. when renting out theatres) Preview function for playlists The current playlist is calculated and visualised for a definable moment. 19

20 Features Automated event display (e.g. based on dates) The automated event display automatically expands the normal playlist with events from an external source/database and generates date and event information for visitors. With the event management in MTC3-Online the user can relate their events to the separate streamers and configure the days of the dates shown in advance. Planable, automated streamer switching MTC3-Online allows switching between different streamers. Thus, it is possible to switch between different playlists without manual intervention, e.g. when renting out theatres. Display of a countdown in the user text (e.g. 10 days left until the start of the film ) In the user text of the planning you can store release dates for films or events. A countdown shows the visitors the days until the chosen release date. Dynamic user text MTC3-Online contains a wildcard management that allows using wildcards in the user text of a planning in MTC3-Online. At the time of the playout the user text is cancelled and changed according to these rules. The countdown wildcard reflects the number of remaining days up to an end date (e.g. X days left until the premiere ). You can create and use any number of differently configured wildcards. 20

21 Features Device control The performance of different functions in the cinema can be automated via the flexible central control of the null821 server, e.g. timed switching on or off of available streamers by determining the operating times. Further automisation is possible. Types of planning Planning in blocks to do the same planning for several contents simultaneously. Linked planning of contents that are always to be played out together ( tandem, allonge ). Event planning: Further event options are possible e.g. infinite loop. Weather display The new weather display complements the normal playout of a playlist and provides information on the current and future weather conditions. The weather information can be displayed in a daily and weekly overview and can be shown at any interval. Content exchange Existing detailed plans can be kept by simply changing items (e.g. in case of price changes). 21
